Meet new friends groups near Market Deeping, H7

The Huntingdon Young Adult Social Club is a welcoming group for young adults in Huntingdon. It’s designed for those new to the area or anyone looking to expand their social circle. The group embraces people of all backgrounds and cultures, fostering a relaxed and inclusive environment. Members meet in local pubs around Huntingdon, offering a casual space to connect, make friends, and share experiences. Especially in the era of remote work, the club provides an opportunity to build a local support network, meet like-minded individuals, and broaden personal perspectives within the community.

Welcome to Peterborough Friends. We have been getting people off their sofas and out of the house since 2015. Firstly, we are not a singles, dating website, we are a social group.  We welcome friends from anywhere of any age, whether you are single, in a relationship or married. We eat out, drink, laugh, walk, dance, party, go to the theatre and even go on holidays. The group has events to suit anyone of any age. If you are fed up of staying in, wasting your time on dating websites and social media or just lonely then please give the group a try.  Scroll through our calendar and see the many varied events planned for this year. If you are interested in an event then please sign up to it so that myself and the other members can look out for you. Can I please ask that you bring cash when attending meals out as it makes it easier to pay the bill and means that the waitress does not have several small card payments for one booking. All meals will require a £5 deposit. This is to secure your place. If you cannot attend for a genuine reason I will transfer the deposit to another event, however if you cancel on the day of the event this will not be refunded. In the event of a meal being cancelled the deposits will be refunded. If I have asked for your deposit and you have not sent it I will move your name on to the waiting list until it has been received. If you RSVP for a theatre trip please send the full payment to me straight away as I have to book tickets for these events promptly so that we can all sit together. Lifts and travel can be shared so please don't be afraid to ask. Just post a comment on the event to see if anyone can help. Please do not contact people directly for lifts unless you have made friends with them. If you are free during the day we meet on Mondays at 11am and Thursdays at 2pm at Central Park. We meet outside the Willow Cafe in the centre of the park. If the weather is bad we still meet for coffee. These are gentle walks but if you would rather just come for a chat and a coffee please arrive at 11.30 and I will meet you in the cafe. If you prefer a longer walk then please sign up for Mark's alternate Sunday and Wednesday evening walks. MEMBERSHIP You will need an up to date photo of yourself to join this group. This is so I can recognise you at events. You will be removed from the group if you refuse to do this. It is helpful if you add a surname as we are a large group and this will make it easier for me. You are welcome to try out the group for free but after two events the cost is £25 for the year, via bank transfer to M J James, Halifax 11-07-34 00228953 ref "sub" or you can pay cash at any event where I have a receipt book. This cost covers the website charges, some of my expenses and allows me to run the group on a full time basis. This amount is non-refundable. If you do not attend your first event for six months your membership will be cancelled unless the subscription payment is received. SPONSORSHIP We are sponsored by Vicky Langton who works with Travel Counsellors. Here are a few words from Vicky ... "I can help you with any of your travel arrangements, from a weekend away, your favourite place to visit, a new destination to explore or for the trip of a lifetime. I want to ensure that I can find your perfect holiday that is tailor-made to you. I will work around the hours you are available, to discuss and sort your travel arrangements. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email, I will be more than happy to help” Tel: 01507 462 581 / 07516 705441 Email: [vicky.langton@travelcounsellors.com](mailto:vicky.langton@travelcounsellors.com)” If you have any concerns or questions please contact me on 07712107646 or send me a message on Meet Up. If you have a complaint about anyone in the group please contact me privately.  Please do not post comments on events regarding any complaints or these will be removed immediately. Anyone who cannot behave in an appropriate manner at events will be removed. I hope you enjoy your time with Peterborough Friends.

As I do not have the time to run a walk every weekend at the moment, I am leaving other walk leaders to list events of their choice on the Peterborough Walking Meetup Group. And some regulars have already formed various groupings of their own, due to the restrictions placed on us at this point in time.

In the meantime I will be running occasional walks on this group. As we need to abide by current guidelines, these will only involve small numbers. For that reason I will only be granting membership to people who I already know. And in particular, those who don't have others they can walk with at this time.

A  friendly social group for people mainly in the age range 40 to 60 .live music, pubs, walks , cinema, craft art fairs,festivals,live events of any kind,dining out, general get togethers, BBQ,s,  pubs, theatre, cafes,members own socials at their own homes , local events in and around melton and the vale of belvoir . We  always encourage members to put up their own ideas for a meet up , please don't be shy , this meet up welcomes group members to help run it, and keep fresh ideas coming in :) \*\*\*\* we do ask you to pay £10 as a joining subscription to ensure members do want to actively join and partake in activities.  This goes towards the charges paid each October and April to help pay for subs which are paid to the Meetup Head office by the organiser.  Please forward the fees as advised in the email sent as reminder to stay as a valued member of our small friendly group.  You are also welcome to bring a non member to an event but please could we suggest a fee of £1 each!  All fees paid will be recorded and any excess will be put towards subscriptions so hopefully after the initial £10 no others fees are due, however I will keep you updated.

If you love to do ***awesome things*** in the local area and beyond, then you have found your people!   We take pride in selecting **high quality events** and activities to please our members (all suggestions welcome!). We host a **variety** of fun and interesting events in the local towns and villages (Bourne, Deeping, Stamford, Peterborough, Spalding) and further afield!   Typical events include everything from low-key pub get togethers, band nights out, letting loose on the dance floor, friendly meals out, escape rooms, cultural events and music/ arts festivals.   Other activities involve crafts activities, spa days, nature and wellbeing walks, holistic workshops, trips to London and Cambridge, overnight hotel stays, holidays in the UK… the list goes on!   If you are new to the area, WFH or just wish to expand your social circle and get out more, you will have lots of fun, and hopefully **make great new friends** too! Our aim is to keep membership numbers manageable, so everyone is looked after. We welcome everyone to the group with a **connection** to the areas listed above. **Please feel rest assured that we do not tolerate harassment, disrespect or creepy behaviour and have a priority to keep our members feeing safe and happy.**   We look forward to meeting you at a future awesome event!

The club is a great way to meet people, make new friends and experience different activities. Maybe you are new to the area or perhaps one day you decide that you should be doing more with your leisure time. Well this is the perfect opportunity. We are fortunate that we have a number of excellent event hosts who voluntarily give up their free time to research and host events for our members to enjoy. We do ask that all of our members keep their RSVPs up to date. It only takes afew seconds to change an RSVP. No shows and very late cancellations cause hosts particular difficulties with managing events and may even dicourage them from hosting which would be a great shame. **MORE DETAILS ON THE GROUP** We are extremely fortunate to be based in Stamford, the "finest stone town in England" with its 600 listed buildings, five medieval churches and a vibrant social scene.  **IS THIS A SINGLES CLUB?** Stamford Meetup is **not** a singles club or dating group. We do ask that all of our members behave respectfully to everyone that they meet in the group as we do not want anyone to be made to feel uncomfortable at any of our events. The purpose of the group is for people to make friends and anyone who uses the website to send messages to strangers will be referred to the conduct group.     **CODE OF CONDUCT/BEHAVIOUR** We expect everybody to treat others with respect. We will refer any complaints to the conduct group for  investigation. **PHOTOGRAPH REQUIREMENT** To join/remain in the group you must have a recent photograph that clearly shows your face. A passport style picture would be ideal. This is very important because it helps us spot you at your first events and also increases the trust and security within the group.  **NAME REQUIREMENT** To join you must use your real name rather than a username. **Have Fun** John (Group Organiser)

Curious about why you should join yet another local group? Firstly, we are a very welcoming, friendly and vibrant group run by an enthusiastic and local leadership team. Members are mostly from the surrounding areas and usually in their 40s, 50s and 60s. This doesn't exclude those from further afield or exclude those younger or older! You are welcome to join, if you have a link to the area, new to the area or perhaps are keen to make new friends or try something different for 2023. Secondly, our group's vision is to create interesting and enjoyable events that get us out of the house! With a greater focus on town rather than city activities, we love everything from good conversation relaxing in pubs to letting our hair down and dancing all night! We enjoy attending local gigs and festivals, organising well planned country walks and we especially love to try delicious food at local restaurants! Our main aim is to ensure that you find leaving the house, perhaps meeting a bunch of strangers for the first time, a worthwhile experience, as we have all been there! So, we encourage everyone to try us out and see for yourself that it's a mixed group of friendly people from all walks of life. As we are democratically run, we value all active members and we encourage everyone to share or suggest ideas for local (or further afield) events. If you are keen to expand your social group, or just feel you'd like to show your face now and again, you are welcome to join in (plus fees have been waived for 2023!).

Welcome to the Peterborough Walking Meetup Group. We are a friendly and amiable group of individuals who enjoy walking in our beautiful countryside. Many people are discovering the benefits of walking, from improving their physical and mental health, building overall fitness and meeting new people. If this is you, why not consider joining our group?  Walks take place throughout the week depending on the availability of our walk organisers, but generally take place most Saturdays where we walk more locally. On other days walks can be further afield and for a longer duration and mileage, and involve more hills. Occasionally we venture further afield to the Peak District, Wales, the Malvern Hills, etc where the walks are more challenging.  We walk at an average pace of some 2.5 mph, which should be manageable by most. Nonetheless, members will need to have a reasonable level of fitness given the distances walked (usually in the region of 8-9 miles), and the type of terrain covered which can be uneven and often slightly hilly. Your walk organiser will advise if there are any special considerations you need to be aware of, such as steep hills. However, if you have any doubt regarding your fitness please speak to your GP.  We normally stop for a short break, so for any walk do bring a packed lunch, drinks, etc. Also, remember that it is important to stay hydrated, so do ensure you bring plenty of water to keep you going, particularly if the weather is warm.  We would like our group to be fun and friendly and welcoming to all. However it is important to set some ground rules to manage expectations and ensure common courtesy among members. **General rules of membership** Please follow the rules below for your own safety and the benefit of the group: •        Turn up on time so that the group is not kept waiting. We will leave punctually.  •        Check the Meetup website before leaving. We seldom cancel but sometimes unforeseen circumstances occur. •        Please change you RSVP if you can no longer attend an event. •        Ensure you have suitable footwear and clothing. •        Take responsibility for your own safety and the safety of the group when walking on roads and crossing railways lines, etc. •        Make sure you are fit enough for any walk you are attending. If in doubt, seek medical advice. •        Sorry, but dogs are not allowed on our walks. We may modify these rules from time to time to ensure the continued enjoyment and safety of all members.

Our friendly group meets in person on Tuesday evenings (except for the 2nd Tuesday of the month). We meet from 7-9pm in the upper room of The Quaker/Friends Meeting House, 21 Thorpe Road, Peterborough, PE3 6AB. **Please note that the doors close at 7pm for security reasons. As we are upstairs we are unable to look out for latecomers.** If you’d like to be included in our monthly newsletter with details of the Tuesday evenings then please email us at [peterboroughbuddhistgroup@gmail.com](mailto:peterboroughbuddhistgroup@gmail.com) with your email address and we'll add to our mailing list. We are a welcoming group of people, drawn together by our wish to explore Buddhism and meditate together. You do not need to consider yourself a Buddhist to join us - we are made up of people from all sorts of different cultures and backgrounds, and the group is relevant to anyone looking for personal growth and meaning. You do not need to have any experience of meditation to come along. Learning meditation is a life-long experience, so we all have to start somewhere! The evening is always structured so that new people will be given the support they need to join in. Our classes run on donations and we suggest £7 although you are free to donate whatever you want. However we’d rather you come along even if you aren’t able to make a donation. Options to donate; ·         Giving directly to the group (‘Triratna Peterborough’) via their Natwest account: sort code 55-50-42, account number 63151499 or ·         cash on the evenings we meet There is a Peterborough Team made up of the Order Member (OM) and mitras (friends of Triratna) who meet approximately monthly to discuss the finances of the group, safeguarding, planning group activities such as who is leading the evenings, organising of events etc. If you have any ideas or concerns that you’d like to share with the team or the safeguarding representative then just ask whoever is leading that evening and they will point you in the right direction.

What we're about
Looking for a group where you can socialize and walk your dog at the same time? (We are too) This is a group for people who want to socialise with their dogs and around their dogs. Whether you have a new puppy that you’re socialising or a dog who wants some friends, all are welcome!

I started this group to bring together dog owners and build a group of canine friends for my Cockerpoo - the bouncy Morrissey. He loves other dogs and adores playtime and although we've met some lovely friends this way, I'd love to bring friends together on a regular basis. And we'd love to achieve the same for other dogs, puppies and their owners!

Meetings:
To begin with, I would like to arrange weekend walks. We are based in PE9 Stamford. We're totally open to suggestions as to how we turn this into a great group and welcome other doglets and their humans, so please feel free to post in the discussion area.

Welcome to “Who am I?” 

The group is for members to explore this question of self identification   Our core beliefs directly influence our attitude, behaviour and actions in relation to every thing in our lives and it is often possible to change and make new choices   A good start is to examine where our thoughts and emotions come from and why  we have them. Do they still serve us?  Or have we out grown them?  Discussion within a group on various topics is a great way to hear new ideas, share resources and give and receive support  

We all have our own truth and values, please be respectful of others and true to yourself   

If you would like to suggest a topic or hold and advertise your own discussion meeting for the group please contact me     

Hope to meet you soon.

We are a social and activities based group for Peterborough and the surrounding area. We are the oldest established group in the area with one of the most active memberships. 'Diversity' is my aim for In Touch in both activities and membership as I think this creates a more stimulating group. I try to maintain this by controlling entry to the group. Our diverse range of regular monthly events include: New members night, Coffee mornings, Badminton, Games afternoons, Ten-Pin Bowling, Cycle Rides, Leisure & social walks, Meals out (World Cuisine, Chinese, Curry Night, Fine Dining), Live Music Events, Pub quizzes, Pub Meetups, Cinema Nights, Rounders and Comedy nights.  As the group has grown we are now creating a range of our own unique events including 'Geo Cache Trail' and 'The Aliens have Landed'. We have also organised the bigger more difficult events other groups don't. Our extensive list of bigger events include: Theatre trips, Rounders, Archery, Quad Biking, White Water Rafting, Scalextrics Racing, Theme Park Visits, Escape Rooms, Hovercraft Driving, Shooting events (Clay Pigeon & Pistols/Riffles), It's-A-Knockout, 5K Inflatable Challenge and Karting. Previously we have arranged Day trips, Weekend breaks and holidays and are always looking for new things to try. **ORANISATIONAL SETUP** This group is an organiser based group with experienced event planners taking the lead in organising events. We have sound financial control and a group kitty as a limited insurance for our events. This hopefully gives people more confidence with our events and a more professional feel to the group. **GROUP HISTORY** The group was founded in Jan-2012 by Janet Wilkinson. Lotte Kolind ran the group from Nov-2012 until July-2013. Jonathan Rippon has run the group since June-2013. **COST** In Touch is completely free to members. From August 2024 I now take a small contribution from some paid events to help towards the meetup subscription fee which is currently £340 per year. You may also make a purely voluntary donation to the group if you wish. **CODE OF CONDUCT / BEHAVIOUR** I expect everybody to treat others with respect. I will remove any member showing inappropriate or antisocial behaviour. The group is also private, which means non-members cannot see who is a member. **AGE RANGE** Anyone over the age of 18 can apply to join. I try to maintain a diverse age range within the group. We currently have people in their late 20's through to people in their 50's. We have events to suits younger people as well as older people. We have host's in their 30's, 40's & 50's. **CULTURAL DIVERSITY** The group welcomes everybody on an equal basis and enjoys the diversity of having many people in the group who are not native to Peterborough / England. We have people from Portugal, Poland, India, China, Peru, Spain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and America within the group. **MARITAL STATUS** THIS IS NOT A SINGLES OR DATING GROUP. This group's prime aim is to organise fun activities for people to enjoy and to enable people to socialise together. Most of our members tend to be single but we also have many couples within the group too. My main aim is to create a community of people who support each other! **JOINING THE GROUP** Anybody who complies with the above can apply to join the group but be aware that I do limit entry to try to maintain the diversity of the group. This can mean that you are held on the pending list for a period of time, depending on who else is applying to join at that time. **ATTENDANCE** We recommend that you try to come along within the first 6 weeks of joining. If you are nervous for whatever reason, contact me or another one of our event hosts and we'll help you take that first step. Be aware that I actively manage our members list and do remove inactive members. This is to keep our membership count real. You will be able to apply re-join. **PREREQUISITES** We do require all members to have a portrait style photo of themselves for identification purposes. If you submit a photo or picture of anything/anyone else but yourself, your request to join will be declined. This is important for the hosts as they need to know who is coming to the events. It also increases the trust and security within the group. **CONTRIBUTING TO THE GROUP** We have a dedicated group of organisers within In Touch but are always looking to encourage new organisers/hosts to join the leadership team. If you've been in the group for 5 months or more and would like to organise or host an event then please contact me. I'll help you plan your first few events to build your confidence. The involvement of members helps the group continue to grow and offer a large range of events to suit all. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Welcome message: Hello and welcome to Thriving After Divorce or Relationship Breakup! Thank you so much for joining this community. I'm excited to have you on board as we embark on a journey together. Please bear with me as I am new to Meetup and trying to learn how it works. I will be putting on more activities and sessions in the next few weeks. **Please note that this is not a dating group, so please do not try to chat with other members or me up. There are enough dating Apps around. While I can't stop members from meeting each other, please refrain from seeking people out on the event chat. If you want to talk to someone, connect after an event; if they wish to connect with you, they will. Any such messages will be removed, and repeaters will be removed from the group.** My goal here is to create a supportive space where we can all rediscover ourselves after navigating significant life changes. Feel free to reach out to me via the direct chat within the App if you have any questions about the group. If you're joining us for the first time, please give me a heads-up beforehand so I can keep an eye out for you. I'm all about spreading positivity and empowering each other to face life's challenges with renewed confidence and courage. Let's support one another with regular tips and reminders to make positivity a habit in our lives. That said, there are a few housekeeping notes I would like to share with you: 1. Keep an eye out for upcoming events over the next few weeks and months on the group calendar. We have everything from casual online meet-and-greets every other week to more structured sessions on specific topics. Remember to RSVP for events, as some require a £10 deposit to secure your spot. The deposit can be transferred to another event if you are unable to attend the event for which you reserved a slot. The deposit can only be rolled over twice, after which you will forfeit it. 2. Eventually, this group will be a subscription-based group. Your first two events will be on the house, and after that, it's just £15 a year to cover group expenses via PayPal or bank transfer. The membership fee covers the website charges and some of my expenses and allows me to run the group. It also helps keep the group exclusive. After three months, if you have not paid for your membership, I will remind you, and if you choose not to pay, you will no longer be able to participate. Please note that the subscription is not a prepayment for any particular event. 3. Some events, such as theatre attendance and day visits, will need to be paid upfront so I can buy the tickets, and we can all sit together as a group. 4. For weekends away and holidays, deposits are necessary to confirm bookings, with the balance payable in instalments. If your plans change, I'll do my best to fill your spot and refund you accordingly, with fewer non-refundable deposits or admin charges. 5. The group is not a therapy group, an encounter group, a group for or against exes, women, men, or family, a religious or political group, or a group for anything other than trying to enjoy ourselves and build a new community with people with similar experiences. If any relationship results, I hold no responsibility and will not be held liable for any impact (positive or negative). Lastly, please keep in mind that I juggle running this group with a full-time job and parenting, so I might not always respond immediately. Reserve phone calls for urgent matters; otherwise, I'm just an email away. I hope you're as excited as I am about this journey ahead! Looking forward to meeting you soon. Warm regards, Dr Amina C.
